You might want to add a general statement about optional clauses which
require release-time steps from the "author", which would cause problems
if invoked, but which haven't been invoked.
Right now, the handling for such things seems to be common sense, but
with a general trend away from solving specific problems and towards
philosophical purity, I can imagine a time in the future where "common
sense" no longer suffices.
